"Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt"
"Rove has made no secret
of his support for Romney as McCain's VP. "

At his recent news conference, President Obama praised Occupy Wall Street, saying, "It expresses the frustrations that the American people feel." Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi praised the protesters, saying, "God bless them for their spontaneity." Vice President Joe Biden claimed the protesters had "a lot in common with the Tea Party." And the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is circulating a petition seeking 100,000 signers to declare, "I stand with the Occupy Wall Street protests."
The political calculation behind all this is obvious: Democrats hope Occupy Wall Street will boost their party's chances in next year's election as the tea party did for the GOP in 2010. But Democratic leaders are wrong in believing that Occupy Wall Street is the liberal alternative to the Tea Party.
The Tea Party is a middle-class movement of people who want limited government, less spending, less debt, low taxes, and the repeal of ObamaCare. Occupy Wall Street isn't a movement. It's a series of events populated by a weird cast of disaffected characters, ranging from anarchists and anti-Semites to socialists and LaRouchies. What they have in common is an amorphous anger aimed at banks, investors, rich people and bourgeois values.
The Tea Party reveres the Constitution and wants to change laws to restore the country to prosperity. Occupy Wall Street started by occupying a New York City park and then blocked the Brooklyn Bridge, sparking the arrest of hundreds.
The Tea Party files for permits for its rallies and picks up its trash afterwards. Occupy Wall Street tolerates protesters who defecate on police cars, allows the open sale of drugs at protests, and features women walking around rallies topless.
The Tea Party has settled down to democracy's patient, responsible work, either by exerting influence on the Republican Party nomination process or educating Americans....

Karl Rove should avoid using the word “backfire.”
Hahahaha! Can you imagine sleeping in those bags with those dogs who have been running around in that park among the urine, feces and garbage all day, with no bath. I’m not sure whether I like the term Fleabaggers or Trashbaggers better.
As for Rove’s article, he’s become so irrelevant to me since his shenanigans with Christine O’Donnel, I barely read him anymore.
The democrats aligning themselves with this motley crew when they refused to even recognize the Tea Party as legitimate, I think, wil show Americans and Obama’s arse to all get out.
I don’t even see how any Americans have any respect for the democratic party anymore. And I think the democrats are starting to feel it. And the more dangerous they are going to get.
I agree with you.
Correction, bad edit...
The democrats aligning themselves with this motley crew when they refused to even recognize the Tea Party as legitimate, I think, wil show Americans the DNC’s and Obama’s arse to all get out.
Due to Rove's own behavior, many have developed Pavlovian conditioning to associate anything Rove with the term "Turd Blossom."
Imus, in my opinion, looks to me like a warmed over cadaver with a Charlie McCarthy hang jaw. Makes about as much sense too.
Let’s see now. The topic is the viability of the Occupation tactic and all you can contribute is six non sequiturs of Romney. You’re really a caricature you know.
Isn't there a parcel of land where ass clowns may be ass clowns and commune with nature while leaving the rest of us unmolested by their amoral ideas and behavior?
11 AM? OWS malcontents don’t start crawling out of bed (or sleeping bag) until noon.
It is essentially the same show over and over, day after day, month after month. . . virtual "rebroadcasts", hour-to-hour even, except for the guests.
But I do kind of like them having a good time..
though Imus claims his name-calling is just for comedy I am convinced that he despises conservative women in politics.
So when he starts in on Palin ("stupid and a dimwit") and Bachmann ("not stupid but despicable and wrong about everything") I turn it off until the start of the next hour. The quotes are not exact but close. BTW, he does have conservative women friends in the media like Laura Ingraham -- and his wife is said to be conservative.
He absolutely swoons over Matt Taibbi and he just loved Anthony Weiner.
Despite his claims of "comedy" when he starts name-calling Palin and Bachmann I turn it off. It ain't funny how he hates those two.. though he did defend Palin against his rabid Lefty regular guests who delighted in that "book" that some nut wrote.

"Rove has made no secret

Is he trying to say that the OWS protestors are racists?
Charles McCord was a real asset to the show and his absence shows...Bernie also used to do "man in the Street" interviews, which were hysterical.
I think the whole Rutgers Girls' team flap, Sharpton's attacks and Imus being fired from WFAN pretty much did him in...it's like he's afraid to do or say anything anymore. what a pity.
The antics of these clowns will turn off many voters, while, those with sympathy are lunatics and Bolshecrats some of whom will not vote because there is little substance being displayed.
I wonder if La Raza will invite Karl Rove to be a speaker at their national convention again this year.
I was thinking a parcel where global warming held greater sway.
Seriously ?
Nothing in the article is wrong, but everything in it, is absolutely obvious, like stupidly and blatantly obvious.
A high schooler could say all this. I mean whats next ? Potential future Karl Rove genius insights.
"Urinating on American flag at democratic convention could turn off war veterans"
"Promising to bring back slavery, may alienate voters"
"Going to cemetery and dancing on graves, could cost the votes of loved ones"
"Promising free heroin to children at school, may turn parents off"
Seriously, this article is pretty much pure common sense, its a basic, you'd have to be an idiot not to see that its accurate, and even the left wing politicians aren't that stupid, I suspect this is setting up a "sister soulja" moment for Obama.
